The Past Week

After getting back from PAX East in the city of Boston I spent this past week learning how to do my job again, watching Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, played a little Red Steel 2, had a few drinks, went the Pageant, met a cute girl I’ll never see again, tried God of War, didn’t like it and instead played some Shadow of the Colossus.
I have great new games like Red Steel 2, Cave Story, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Warioware DIY, and Pokemons; but I am not feeling compelled to play any of them. I did power though Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon last week. Fragile was just over flowing with atmosphere and could not stop playing it until I was done.
Last night I went to the Pageant to see Tegan and Sara with Amanda, but we ended up leaving after the opening band because Amanda wasn’t felling good. I was a bit bummed because I was flirting with this girl, and overall having a good time. I need to go out more because I like being around people. After I got back I hung out with Chris and sort of watched Evil Dead 3 and Out Cold.

This morning I stayed in bed far to long, and then tried to play God of War. I played 15 minutes of it and was done. I do not like God of War, but since I had my PS2 hooked up I played a little of Shadow of the Collosus. Now that is a great game, my favorite PS2 game. On a side note, many Playstation 2 games have not aged well.

I just read on the Nadia wikipedia page that Hayao Miyazaki came up with the concept which must be why I like the premise, it’s too bad the show suffers badly with early 90’s anime syndrome. Gainax should completely redo that after the are done with the Eva Rebuild.
